BAC to meet at a different location this month. The Bayfront Advisory Committee will hold its annual workshop Thursday, June 17 at the Virginia Beach Resort Hotel & Conference Center, 2800 Shore Drive, from 11:00am to 3:00pm. The Committee will be continuing discussions regarding recommendations for revisions to the Shore Drive Corridor Plan, the Shore Drive Design Guidelines, and private encroachments on City right-of-way, pedestrian access issues, parking issues, and related matters.
The meeting will be open for the public to observe; however, there will not be an opportunity for the public to participate in the Committee’s deliberation. BAC will then hold its regularly scheduled meeting at 3:30 p.m., in the VB Resort & Conference Center. There will be an opportunity for presentations from the public on projects in the Bayfront area. The Committee generally concludes its deliberations around 4:30 p.m. The meeting is then opened to the public for comments.
Future venues for BAC are still TBD.
